Bekymret for hva COP30 faktisk lander på, nå ser det mørkt ut. Men dette gir håp for at noen land kan gå foran og ta ansvar. For det finnes ingen vei ut av klimakrisa utenom å fase ut fossil energi. Her må Norge delta.

We show that when some contribution behaviors become visible, decline of other, invisible efforts may outweigh the positive effects. rdcu.be/eCB6W

Hvorfor er det ingen større politisk debatt om å sanksjonere Israel? Er det ingen grenser for hva de får gjøre mot Gazas sivilbefolkning? @arbeiderpartiet.bsky.social

Another case of a very unpleasant encounter with the US. Caricature of JD Vance found on phone and swoosh expelled from country. Great researchers and conferences over there but not tempting anymore. www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/to-b...

Unsplash image of the Earth, mostly the nightside with a tracery of city lights on every continent.
OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

A picture shows 32 men arranging themselves into an SOS on the ground of a prison yard. The ground is bare earth. All the men are wearing red or orange prison jumpsuits.
What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a
@reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility.
11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Buffalo have developed a nanoparticle-based vaccine candidate for H5N1 avian influenza (clade 2.3.4.4b) that achieved 100% PROTECTION in preclinical trials. The vaccine is under development for potential use in BOTH veterinary AND human medicine. 🧪🧵⬇️

During COVID, mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives worldwide.
Today, Minnesota republicans proposed a bill stating that "whoever knowingly manufactures, acquires, possesses, or makes readily available to another mRNA injections or products" can be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Our NSF grant on "Source Credibility, Political Identity, and Factual Belief Revision" with Jonathan Woon was also just cancelled because it is no longer "in alignment with current NSF priorities". This is sad and frustrating!

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)
Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants
Ja. Holmlia i Oslo er fabelaktig sånn. Da jeg bodde der var det nesten alltid raskest å gå.

Just so it’s clear, the government wanted to oversee hiring and employment at a *private* institution in order to implement a purity test. When the institution refused, they took away money for life saving research (cancer etc).
That’s some fascist shit.
No serious university can accept en bloc affirmative action for students and faculty based on their political views (i.e., government support). Harvard had no choice.
